Robert Greene and Paul Seydor are notable exceptions to most of the silliness -- and there is silliness -- in TAS. The magazine is worth it for their articles alone, which tend to be informed, non-hyperbolic, and not about expensive cables and the rest. They recently added Max Shepard, who knows a LOT about things electrical (I know Max).
EVERY audio magazine is, to a great or lesser degree, FOS. Pat Farrell;137509 Wrote: > highdudgeon wrote: > > Amen.

Simple and satisfying. In a larger room, I would move back to larger speakers, subs, and probably RCS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ highdudgeon's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2195 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27452 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
